What does Marriott see as the future of disabled people in the workplace and for Marriott?
We believe the future is bright in the workplace for people with disabilities. As a group, and as individuals, they have so much to offer that it’s hard to imagine that opportunities for them won’t continue to grow. That having been said, we have a long way to go. A quick look at the unemployment statistics for this group over the last 15 years make that clear. We must all continue to work hard to assure that the opportunities afforded people with disabilities allow them to be stretched and challenged; to demonstrate just how much they have to offer. My hope is that we will continue to move toward a time when no one is viewed in the context of their limitations, but when all are appreciated for their promise and their performance.
